Two Tunnels Greenway, Bath
(route)
Note that this route is not yet open though you can walk the sections that aren't actually underground and climb the hills between those - please vote for Connect2 so that we secure the funding - and support the planning application before the committee at the end of November. http://www.sustransconnect2.org.uk/
This is a proposed shared path along the route of the Somerset and Dorset Railway's Bath Extension, from East Twerton through Oldfield Park via Devonshire Tunnel, then Lyncombe Vale and through Combe Down Tunnel, lastly across Tucking Mill Viaduct to Midford. Regular buses run from Midford or Dundas back to Bath, or walk back via the Somerset Coal canal towpath and a climb to South Stoke - or you will be able to walk or cycle via Dundas and the K&A canal towpath. A circular route via the canal towpath will be a half marathon in length.

The Old Mineral Line
(route)
A walk from Washford Station to Watchet Station mostly along the route of the West Somerset Mineral Railway which once brought iron ore down from the mines on the Brendon Hills to Watchet harbour and thence the ironworks in South Wales. You can return by steam train on the West Somerset Railway, which parallels much of the route. It is OK for a wheelchair but can be a bit bumpy and muddy in a few places.
